If there is a part of glass etching that can be called "tedious", it is blowing up designs to the right size, then tracing the design on the resist and hand cutting every line in a complex design.

Just imagine . . . . . . being able to do your glass etching without the drudgery of enlarging, tracing and cutting all your designs by hand. Well now you can! We can now provide you with pre-cut stencils of the patterns in our books plus much more. (We can also teach you how to use these stencils with our new videos - see below!)

More than just glass etching patternsNow you can do beautiful, highly complex etchings one time or a hundred times without having to lift a stencil knife to cut a line. Lettering and precise geometric designs are a breeze! Our designs are all copyrighted, of course, but copyright use permisson comes with each stencil! Hundreds of designs and design combinations are available.

Get the system! These stencils provide a system of etching and carving on glass but also on wood, stone, ceramic or metal. These stencils are even good for painting and airbrushing. To assure yourself of getting a continuous supply of new designs, plus discounts off your stencil orders, you can even subscribe to our design system! (see below, or Design Book 1, Volume 1 page for details)

If you are etching glass now, you know that surface etching designs are block designs (rather than line drawings), where the black areas are to be etched and the white areas are to be left clear (called a positive etch). If the black areas are left clear and the white areas are etched, the etching is called a negative or reverse etch.

The design system features hundreds of surface etching designs which we can pre-cut for you in almost any size. In addition, you can create your own designs from elements of these designs.

Multi-stage etching designs

Designs for multi-stage carving or shading are line drawings rather than block designs. (For more information on glass etching techniques, see our books and instructional videos.) We have hundreds of these designs in the design system, too.

Available pre-cut to whatever size you need, these designs can make your glass etching easy and fast, with outstanding results. You can create your own designs from design elements in our books, or we can even pre-cutyour own designs!
